In that case, each of the family users has registered a transfer list in the authentication server 4 via the transfer control server 2 in advance. The list includes the numbers of the calling side terminals 6, calls from which are approved by the user to be transferred to the user's terminal. When the transfer control server 2 receives the call from the calling side terminal 6, it tries authentication of the call by comparing the number of the calling side terminal 6 and the numbers in the transfer approval list (confirmation that the numbers match) at the authentication server 4.
  • the transfer control server 2 If the transfer control server 2 cannot authenticate the calling subscriber against any of the family users (step S3 in FIG. 5 ), it transfers the call from the calling side terminal 6 to the ordinary fixed terminal 5a (step S4 in FIG. 5 ).
